Pressure Washing

Overview

Pressure washing is one of the more approachable service businesses to start because the core equipment is inexpensive relative to other trades and the skill curve is short. Most people start with residential jobs — driveways, siding, decks, fences — and build a customer base through local advertising, referrals, and before/after photos. It's physically demanding work and seasonal in colder climates, and pricing has to account for water access, equipment wear, and drive time between jobs, not just labor. This is a realistic starting point, not a guaranteed income stream; results depend on local demand, competition, and how consistently you market the business.
